A stretch of the National Highway in Tamil Nadu which passes through these forests is quiet and very spooky. The story of the village goes that it was once under the terror of Veerappan, the most dreaded gangster ever.
In the midst of his reign, he had helped a lot of people from those villages and was a God-like figure in those areas. Even the army could not catch him for very long because of his stranglehold on the village and the village eventually became known for him.
